二、阅读理解
The Qingming Festival Traditions in South China’s “F3” Region
The Qingming Festival, also known as Tomb-Sweeping Day, is a significant occasion for Chinese families to honor ancestors. In South China’s Guangxi, Guangdong, and Hainan provinces (collectively called the “F3” region), unique customs combine cultural heritage with local characteristics.
Guangxi
In Guangxi, families gather at ancestral graves (祖坟) early in the morning. They clean tombstones, light incense (香), and prepare traditional dishes like zongzi (sticky rice dumplings). A distinctive practice involves burning “spirit money” made from joss paper (纸钱) to ensure ancestors’ comfort in the afterlife. Younger generations often listen to elders share family histories during these visits.
Guangdong
Guangdong’s rituals (惯例) emphasize harmony between humans and nature. Besides tomb-sweeping, people plant trees around graves to symbolize life renewal. In rural areas, villagers fly kites with colored strings during the festival, believing this can get rid of bad luck. The province is also famous for its tea-pouring ceremonies (倒茶仪式) held at ancestral halls.
Hainan
Hainan adds tropical flavors to the tradition. Locals use banana leaves instead of rice paper to wrap offerings due to local resources. Coastal communities perform dragon dances near the sea to bless fishing boats. Unique to Hainan is the custom of hanging pomelo fruits (柚子) on graves, representing richness and protection.
These practices reflect the F3 region’s shared cultural roots while showcasing regional diversity. Through these rituals, younger generations strengthen family bonds and preserve their cultural identity.
21．What do people in Guangxi typically burn during Qingming visits
A．Wood B．Joss paper C．Plastic flowers D．Fruit baskets
22．Why do Guangdong villagers fly kites during Qingming
A．To celebrate harvests B．To attract tourists
C．To drive away bad luck D．To exercise outdoors
23．What is the main purpose of this passage
A．To compare Chinese and Western festivals
B．To explain how modern technology affects traditions
C．To criticize environmental damage caused by festivals
D．To describe regional Qingming customs in F3 provinces
Although the piano keys come in black and white, the music it produces is full of color. Chinese pianist Tian Jiaxin explores creative performances and crossover cooperation with traditional Chinese music, with the hope of bringing the music of the East to the Western world.
Tian attended regular school instead of studying at a music school in her childhood. This enabled her to absorb China’s rich culture and understand the bigger picture later in her pursuit of a career as a professional pianist. “There’s so much to grasp when explaining a piece. What we’re conveying is not only the notes (音符), but the culture behind the music,” Tian said.
As a Chinese pianist, Tian is looking to add more depth to her performances, stressing the contrast between Eastern and Western cultures. “No matter which country I am performing in, I always include Chinese music in my program. With Western pieces, I hope to show the world that a female musician from China can perform the music that they are familiar with and love.” Tian says that she believes her mission is to make China heard on a wider stage.
Tian believes that music is developing over time and that music from different ages has its own unique meaning. “I’ve found that people’s understanding of Chinese music is often limited to certain pieces like Jasmine Flower,” Tian said. “However, there are so many great pieces of Chinese music that are unknown outside of China. So, I always try to feature both the time-honored classics of Chinese music and the newly created pieces,” she added.
“Chinese music has the magic to cause resonance (共鸣) with the audience and convey the various and deep culture of Chinese civilization,” Tian said.
24．What can we learn about Tian Jiaxin from the text
A．She prepared well before performing.
B．She adapted unknown Chinese pieces.
C．She aimed at making China heard widely.
D．She went to music school at a young age.
25．How does Tian present the combination of Chinese and Western cultures in her performances in paragraph 3
A．Playing only Chinese classical music.
B．Adding Chinese music to her performance.
C．Using traditional Chinese instruments to perform Western works.
D．Wearing traditional Chinese costumes during performances.
26．What does Tian say about Chinese music
A．It delivers rich culture of China. B．It is setting the fashion.
C．It develops at a low speed. D．It holds little appeal for foreigners.
27．What is the text mainly about
A．The importance of Chinese culture.
B．Differences between eastern and western music.
C．Chinese music has an impact on the world.
D．A pianist combining Chinese music with western music.
Iceland is a northern European country with amazing natural beauty and oceans around. There are a number of volcanoes (火山). It has a short summer which lasts from June to August. The long winter starts from September and ends next May.

In winter, when people in Iceland finish their daily work, they will have different special activities to spend the long dark night.

There are also story-telling activities for children, which can teach them to be strong and kind. The most popular stories are about Christmas in Iceland.
Because of a long cold winter, Iceland has a short growing season. The food problem was always a headache for Iceland in the past. It had to buy most of its food from other countries. Later, when farmers learned to use lights and underground heat to grow crops (庄稼) all year round in the greenhouse, things changed a lot.
Living in such a nice environment, most people in Iceland live a happy life. According to a survey about happiness made each year in Europe, Iceland is always among the top 3.

The rapid development of the internet and artificial intelligence (AI) has greatly changed human life. Among AI technologies, Deepseek, a smart system created in 2022 by Chinese scientists, stands out. Unlike traditional AI tools, Deepseek focuses on “understanding human intentions” rather than just following commands. For example, it can analyze users’ emotions from text messages and offer personalized suggestions.
Since its launch, Deepseek has been used in education, healthcare, and environmental protection. In schools, it helps teachers design courses based on students’ learning habits. In hospitals, it assists doctors in predicting diseases by studying medical data. More importantly, Deepseek’s energy-saving design reduces computing power consumption by 50%, making AI technology greener.
However, some experts warn that over-reliance (过度依赖) on AI might weaken human creativity. Prof. Li from Peking University says, “We should use AI as a tool, not a replacement for human thinking.” Deepseek’s team also agrees, emphasizing their goal is to “empower humans, not control them.”
Looking ahead, experts believe AI like Deepseek will reshape careers. Routine jobs like data entry may decline, but new roles in AI management and human-AI interaction design are emerging. As the system’s lead engineer Dr. Wang noted: “The real challenge isn’t building smarter machines, but teaching people to grow alongside them. In the future, humans will surely coexist harmoniously with artificial intelligence.”
32．What is Deepseek’s main research focus
A．Following users’ orders quickly. B．Reducing energy consumption.
C．Understanding human intentions. D．Replacing human jobs.
33．How might Deepseek help environmental protection
A．By controlling human behavior. B．Through its energy-saving technology.
C．By replacing environmental scientists. D．Through emotion analysis.
34．What does the underlined word “empower” most likely mean
A．Control completely. B．Make weaker.
C．Give order to. D．Provide power to.
35．What is Dr. Wang’s attitude towards the development of AI according to the passage
A．Doubtful. B．Optimistic. C．Indifferent. D．Anxious.
Everybody has gone through bad days, and some bad days feel like the world is on our shoulders and we just can’t bear the weight of it any longer. 36 Consider the following ways when you are experiencing the worst days of your life.
Reflect.
When you have the worst day of your life, turning to reflection can remove any bad mood. 37 Others like to spend time writing in journals to express their feelings. The point of the quiet time is to release the bad mood of your day.
Reach out to others.
When you are feeling like your world has ended, you need to reach out to others for help. Sometimes this might mean seeking professional help if you are in a state of depression (抑郁), or it might simply mean talking to a well-trusted friend. 38
Change your mental state.
Sometimes it is just a matter of turning them into active thoughts. 39 Once you are able to do that, you will see that it really was not the worst day ever after all.
40
To deal with the worst day and improve yourself, you can set goals. Whether you realize them or not, you will gain a growth experience which moves you forward rather than holds you back.
A．Set goals.
B．Improve yourself.
C．You will make it sooner or later.
D．Sometimes it needs a change in your mental state to overcome it.
E．There are ways to remove those feelings and breathe fresh air again.
